Sorry I haven't had time to visit everyones posts. I've been laid up with a bad back for the past few days. If only I had a laptop, then I'd be set:)

Glad to see your post again, sorry about your back..that's really painful. Love these, especially #7, saved to favs...You and I are thinking along the same lines posting Magnolias but yours are much more pro shots with that Nikon D90! I want one of those! :-) NellyBly · 2010-05-20: 18:05

Wonderful! When looking at these photos it's easy to imagine that magnolias were among the first flowering plants on earth, from an evolutionary perspective. There's something primeval about them, no doubt. ????? · 2010-05-21: 11:01
